What me and my mates used to do was try over and over again to touch the ring, when we were 14/15. Then we would try to grab the ring with two hands, then we tried with the ball and so forth. You try over and over again and you achieve what you want really

I could jump my highest when I was 16. That's about the time I started lifting. I went from around 150 lbs. to around 190 lbs. in roughly a year. At that point I could only come within an inch of the rim. I was sad my vertical dropped but by that point I more interested in how much striking force I could produce... which was a whole lot more than when I was 150 lbs

190 lbs is pretty big for your height, at least a bit I think. You pretty lean or filled out now

I was stronger at Hockey and swimming (just had been doing them competitively for longer) so I played those in high school. I kept playing intramural ball in college and pickup ball for many years after college.. Too many ankle turns and jammed fingers, then age took over.

How old are you Money, if you don't mind saying.

I played high school ball, backup center at 6-foot-white boy. I could touch the rim and never, ever came close to dunking. Which probably was good for me early on, as I had a good coach my 8th grade year who taught me how to use position and size to carve out space under the rim for rebounds, and I pulled 'em down when I actually saw playing time.

Most of my high school career was spent on the bench, but it made me a solid back top player, which was better than nothing.
